Studio Kamppari designs custom homes on the Kitsap Peninsula under the direction of Sini Kamppari, a licensed architect trained at MIT and Yale with more than 20 years of experience, including time at two of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected firms, Miller Hull and Olson Kundig.
Originally from Finland, Sini brings a Nordic sensibility to her work: clarity, restraint, and use of natural materials. The result is architecture that is well proportioned and carefully detailed.
Every project is carried through drawings and specifications that are precise, coherent, and ready to build. We have permitted numerous projects in Kitsap County, including on Bainbridge Island, the cities of Port Orchard and Bremerton, as well as rural projects in unincorporated Kitsap County. We understand how each jurisdiction has their own review process and plan for it from the start.

First Step
Most projects begin with a short introductory phone call to understand scope, site, and fit.
Our Nordic Approach
Our aesthetics are clean, organized, and warm. So is our approach.
We work closely with homeowners to design custom homes tailored to their lifestyles and goals. We create homes with functional layouts, natural materials, and in harmony with their sites.
Our process begins by clarifying project goals. We establish how a home should function and support daily life. A home design is made up of thousands of decisions, and we manage the process so you are making key decisions at the right time, collaborating with the appropriate stakeholders, and keeping the design coherent through every phase.
The result is architecture that feels calm, resolved, and responsive to how it will be lived in over time.
If you are planning a future home, start with the workbook I wish every client completed before our first meeting.
For Considered Homes
We work with homeowners who value clarity, simplicity, and thoughtful design over trends. Many are drawn to natural materials, clean lines, and sun-filled interiors.
Our projects range from rural sites and waterfront properties to remodels where existing structures require careful coordination. Constraints are not obstacles, they are often where the most interesting solutions emerge.
We help clients navigate the process, translating needs and aspirations into well-resolved spaces that feel effortless to live in.
For Challenging Sites
Our work often involves:
waterfront properties
forested acreage
steep slopes
environmentally sensitive land
permitting

Our Services
We are a full-service architecture firm, guiding you through the entire process and coordinating any necessary consultants. We design the home, select materials and fixtures, and prepare detailed construction drawings. We also manage permitting and can assist in selecting a qualified builder. During construction, we visit the site, provide clarifications, and offer ongoing support to help ensure the design is built as intended and that your project is brought to life with care. Refer to our Services page for more information.
Our Clients
Our clients are often building their forever home. They value thoughtful design, quality materials, and a collaborative process more than speed or trends. Many contact us before purchasing land or fully defining their project.
Work Together
We are based in south Kitsap, near the waterfront town of Manchester. We meet at your project site, in your home, or remotely depending on what best supports the work and your location.
We make the process accessible and straightforward, regardless of where you are in the Puget Sound.
